This is because yum rpm package does some post-installation trickery
using the above two (redhat-specific -- that hints me you took this rpm
from some Red Hat or Fedora distro) script.

I guess you have two options here:
1. (after satisfying all the other dependencies) run rpm -ihv --nodeps
--noscripts yum*.rpm to avoid rpm complaining about missing deps, and
not running post-install scripts. This should not affect basic yum
functionality -- will work anyway.
2. Rebuild yum.rpm, removing those deps and removing chkconfig and
service calls from postinstall scripts.
